Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the moderating effect of selfconfidence
in business on the relationship between loan access, skill acquisition
and bonding; and women entrepreneurs’ business performance. A quantitative
research method (survey) was used to solicit responses from 161 women clients of
three homogenous micro-finance institutions in Nigeria. The samples were
selected through stratified proportionate random sampling. Data were analyzed
using hierarchical regression. The results indicated that loan access (loan access),
skill acquisition (skill acquisition) and bonding (bonding) had significant positive
influence on women entrepreneurs' business (sales) performance in Nigeria. Selfconfidence
moderated the relationship between loan access and skill acquisition
(not bonding); and women entrepreneurs' sales performance.
